Rubenerd: PostgreSQL invalid listen

PostgreSQL invalid listen_addresses

This post originally appeared on the Annexe.

So now when I restarted Postgres:

Error: Invalid line 603 in /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf: \
>listen_addresses="localhost,10.0.1.2"

See the bug? Yes, double quotes instead of single. From postgresql.conf:

listen_addresses='localhost, 10.0.1.2'

It’s been a long Monday!
